Guten Morgen.. really i should say night because it is all
12 or 11 your time haha,
anyways sorry for no emails yesterday it was CRAZY... plus
here in Germany Easter is 5 days long so the Internet cafes were closed!! :(
Well lets start off with the exciting stuff..
1.. Can I just say I teach the best people here in Dahlem..
they are so wonderful and I can just see the light they have in their eyes to
learn about the gospel.. they thrive for it and they all have told me now their
desires to attend BYU haha pretty cool.
2. Not such exciting news....
Yup I got transferred.. Ahh I am leaving my precious dahlem and moving across
Germany back to the west to serve in Hannover with my new companion sister
Walker.. I am freaking out.. but it is good I will teach a lot of Africans..
its is funny because that was sister Wiborny's last area haha so we just did a
little swap and now she is getting sister Rückhour here and she is coming from
Osnabrück and was trained by sister Egbert.. man I can't believe it has already
been that long since I have left osnabrück.. I don't even feel like I am on a
train anymore it is truing into a jumbo jet.. All the time is flashing before
my eyes and I can't believe i am ending my time here in Dahlem. Beautiful city
of dahlem. I will miss this place so much Berlin was such a wonderful
experience for me and I truly felt like i could thrive here.
Well now to the events of this week.
How was general conference for
everyone? I thought it was so good. Ah every talk had a answer to the questions
that I had. There is just something about serving a mission and watching
general conference that makes it the most wonderful experience ever.. I really
just love the talk from elder Holland how powerful!! wow. I think my favorite
talk was though from Elder Ringwood about just being genuinely good.. It really
hit home for me.. Sometimes I forget that I really can learn so much more from
the others sisters.. because even if they are not in leadership they are still
AMAZING missionaries. I hope I can take that on to hannover with me and just
realize that with the my sisters there. Overall though it was just a great
conference and sadly I don't get to see the last session till Sunday as
normal.. Man next general conference though will be sad for me.. Mom and Dad
are you prepared for that yet? We don't think about it don't worry..
Well Ignacio is doing great, I
can really tell that you are praying for him. It was crazy because on Monday he
called and said that he doesn't think that he can do it anymore, we called him and
just calmed him down to the point he would meet with us just to read the book
of Mormon. We met with him yesterday and He is still doing so well... all he
could tell us is how much we are helping him with his faith..He is so cute.. I
am sad that I wont get to be here for his baptism! =( ugh!
Easter was so much fun we spent
it with just members and investigators, the whole weekend we were just packed
with appointments It was so great! :)
It was hard though because our
Ward mission leader and his family were out of town this weekend so I wasn't
able to say goodbye.. ugh I come back to berlin in 3 weeks though so it is
okay.. but he really has been the best Ward mission leader I have ever had! So
strong in the gospel and so willing to help.. It will be sad not to have that
anymore, but I have heard that hannover has an amazing ward and bishop so I am
excited for new adventures..
Well I don't really have anything else.. life is so great I
love this mission and being a missionary..
Happy Easter,
Liebe, Grüße,
Sister Toma
